| Tube Flavor b_limo you and rcbike should talk:-)And yes, isolation under tubed components is very effective, but I don't want to change the subject. Looking forward to reading about your experiences. | |
| You mean someone buys this stuff? The big sound things are terrifying | |
| Modwright KWI200 vs Kinki Studio EX-M1+ I have a Modright 100SE that I am very happy with. You might want to check the gain spec to make sure it's not too high and will be a good match for your pre.It's difficult to set the volume correctly if your pre is also high gain. | |
| Any real difference in RCA cables quality for sub? As long as cable is not picking up noise, as was stated above there won't be a significant difference. A better power cable and isolating it from the floor will make a bigger difference. | |
| Townshend Audio EDCT Isolda Speaker Cables ZenWave also has ribbon speaker cables in copper or silver. The copper version is outstanding with my tube amp.Exactly how others have described the brands listed previously. Every nuance in the entire frequency range presented naturally without h... | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings Agreed @russ69.Nothing wrong with a high fidelity system that is also a bit forgiving of less than stellar recordings. The best recordings will still sound fabulous and the Stones albums will be listenable, fun,and satisfying. | |
| Tube Flavor The small signal tubes have the most effect on "flavoring" the sound.The power tubes have a subtler effect and are more about sharper or softer dynamics/leading edge.I haven't tried a lot of NOS power tubes though,I'm a bit uneasy about their reli... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Lol!Are you bored tonight b_limo?I had one for a couple of weeks but returned it. It was smooth as silk but I didn't care for it. I like more distortions I suppose;-) | |
| Sound Labs 645-8, A Review Good you got it figured out quickly. From your description I can almost hear how outstanding the music sounds. Congrats! | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable HarmTech is very nice - warm and also detailed, really good at taming "digititus".I recently auditioned occ copper ribbons from ZenWave. They are my #1 now for my tube amp w/Harbeths. | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? akg_ca and williewonka said it best.Also the most expensive cabling absolutely is not the best match for every system. The signal from the amp to the speakers never arrives unscathed.Finding one that does the least harm and allows the components t... | |
| What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive? No serious regrets really. But listening to the hype begat too many lateral moves.If I only knew then what I know now about component matching,build quality, and acoustics. Never having large amounts of money to throw at this hobby probably saved me. | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes Components that measure the best always sound the best;-) | |
| Your tube preamp and ss amp thread I actually just bought a ss amp (Modright 100SE) for summer use,and my tube amp will be idle until fall.My Dac and pre are both tubed.I like the extra power and not thinking about the care and feeding of valves for now:-)It took a little fussing w... | |
| Analysis Plus customer service Glad to hear the boss finally got things straightened out. I've recently had a similar experience with another company. They all meant well but their in-house communication .... |
